Jet Li is well-known both in China and around the world as one of the biggest Kong Fu movie stars. Since his film debut in 1982, he has appeared in more than 30 films. As his career has developed, so he has moved from Beijing to Hong Kong and then to Hollywood. Wherever he goes, he seems to spark a Kung Fu boom. On the screen, he is always a hero. But in real life, he considers himself just an ordinary person. In fact, the adoration he inspires hides a darker side – the physical suffering he has endured as a kung fu actor and the psychological suffering that being a celebrity entails. But despite all the highs and lows he's experienced over the past 20 years, Jet Li has maintained a remarkably well-balanced attitude to life.
Starring in action movies has brought Jet Li fame and fortune. But he regards all his achievements as transitory. He wasn't born with them, and he won't take them with him when he dies. It's this simple philosophy that has helped Jet Li keep a balanced state of mind.
Jet Li believes his contribution to humanity is to convey through his films his philosophy of a peaceful and balanced mind, and love. His latest film "Huo Yuanjia" or "Fearless" does precisely that. The movie starts with a news report that, in 2003, 280,000 people in China committed suicide. Through the film Jet Li decided to explain his viewpoints on life and martial arts. His conclusion is that suicide never solves anything. People, he believes, should look for ways to defeat their worst nature, because it is the self that is the individual's greatest enemy. Overall, he hopes to lead young people to reexamine life in terms of Oriental philosophy and Oriental culture.
